The Copperpot Journals release their first album proper, 'Pilots' on October 20. 'Pilots' follows the band's well-received debut mini-album 'Plotting To Kill Your Friends'. The album can be pre-ordered by contacting the band's label, Firefly, for a mere £7 (includes postage - cheques payable to Firefly Recordings - Po Box 30179, London E17 5FE). From September 30 the price for advance orders goes up to £9.

To coincide with the release the band are playing a few shows, including a free matinee show at the Notting Hill Arts Club on October 11, featuring Kids Near Water, Rameses III and Amaranta, and are then touring with US outfit Garrison throughout early November.
